Should of listened...

I love this forum and live by it!! I should of listened though. How stupid of me. 2000 Passport 3.2l V6 119k miles. If anyone has a whirlling sound at startup coming from the front of the engine on a cold (30 or below) day and the sound continues after about 10-15 minutes...CHANGE YOUR IDLE PULLEY VALVE!! Do it, just do it!!!

She locked up on me this morning on my way to work, thankfully I was only going 2 mph and 1/2 block away from the house. The repair was $250, I was thinking around $2000, whew...

Guys, keep up the good work and continue to provide the best advice available anywhere!!!!

Thanks, KC

Re: Should of listened...

thanks for the update! Mine is still doing it at for about 2-3 minutes when it is below 30 outside.

i'll have to call up the dealer and get a quote to see what it costs. I know the after market part costs about 20 bucks, and I can't imagine it would take more then 30 minutes of labor.

Re: Should of listened...

oh don't worry! I do a lot of stuff myself. I just get a little worried about torquing down bolts and snapping them off (I snapped 2 off on the diff cover before).

Shouldn't cost more than $40-$50 if you change out your belt. It can be done in 15 minutes.

When I saw 2eye posted, I thought it was going to be to say that he could swap it before you could down a shot of tequila!

Re: Should of listened...

When it's cold the noise could be anything.

Last year when it got really cold and I heard the same type of noise as Kcorry, I wish it had been the idle pulley - my noise turned out to be a failing waterpump.

My idler pulley got changed at the same time though.

Re: Should of listened...

Hey guys,
I wish it was a DIY!!! It could be a bad IMG causing the sound, but it definitely was the IPV. But the saga continues, the s-belt that was replaced is now showed some splitting after a week. Good thing, it's covered: bad thing: gotta get a tow so I don't damage anything else.

Re: Should of listened...

It's the idler pulley (so as to avoid confusion for future searchers who don't know as much as some of the regulars).

My truck is going into the dealer today at 1PM. It isn't getting any better and it has been ongoing for the last 3 winters ....
